Wiping and reinstalling applications as needed is not a simple process. Why are you recommending a hammer when a few surgical strikes can solve this problem?

I strongly disagree that a few surgical strikes can remove a virus or trojan infection. Once the OS is compromised, you can't trust anything that the OS tells you. I am not the only one who holds this viewpoint.

You can use Process Explorer to terminate the processes IS2010.exe, 41.exe, winlogon86.exe and winupdate86.exe . Full removal instructions are here.

If that doesn't work for any reason, you may use a rescue live-CD virus scanner : I like best Avira AntiVir Rescue System because it gets updated several times a day and so the download CD is up-to-date. As a boot CD it's autonomous and doesn't work using your Windows XP system.

Once you succeed in erasing this virus, run antivirus scans by a couple of products. I recommend using at least Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

it isn't. It's probably just because it uses regedit and other stuff that CAN cause bad stuff on your PC. I will include in a sec the source code, so you can see that i am not lying. And, i don't know any virusscanner that runs from a cmd???

ive added the source. if you don't feel safe about running the exe, just run the source, check it with notepad to make sure nothing bad happens to your PC.

it's the thing with batch; windows will report it as a trojan when it is used with removing/disabling software that COULD harm your pc, but in this case, it only makes it better.

Do NOT post links to download files directly. Rather point the original hosted site.

Jeff Atwood has a good article about how to clean up a spyware infection. Following these steps should get you pretty close. Using some of the products recommnded by harrymc will also help you remove this virus.

This thing about buying a particular new virus checker to cure the Internet Security 2010 virus is exactly what they want you to do, and is a complete waste of money. My system was hit by this horrible virus resulting in the “blue screen of death” and being deprived of access to any controls. What I could do, however, is reboot!

So I rebooted, held down Key F8, and got the boot options.

I chose “System Restore” option and turned the clock back by one week.

Although an error message appeared saying it had failed, it actually hadn’t! When I rebooted, the system was perfect again, and I hadn’t even lost any data – everything was right up to date, and I simply deleted the suspect file the virus came from.
